FLaG: Frequency-Domain Latent-attention Gated Pooling for Token Aggregation

FLaG (Frequency‑Domain Latent‑attention Gated Pooling) is a plug‑in token‑aggregation module that transforms encoder outputs into the Fourier domain, summarizes spectral tokens with learnable latent queries, applies a sample‑conditioned channel gate, and reconstructs modulated token representations for downstream pooling. The method is evaluated on antimicrobial peptide activity prediction, CIFAR‑10/100 image classification, and several RoBERTa language tasks, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on most metrics. Analyses show that FLaG emphasizes low‑frequency components while selectively amplifying high‑frequency signals in later layers, providing a transferable frequency‑domain bias across protein, visual, and textual representations.

Coarse composition suffices: tabular in-context learning for multi-activity antimicrobial peptide profiling

The study demonstrates that a simple, sequence-only approach using 330 interpretable descriptors and the TabPFN tabular foundation model can outperform complex multimodal deep learning methods for multi-label antimicrobial peptide activity prediction. On the ESCAPE benchmark (82,359 peptides, five labels), a label‑powerset TabPFN model achieved a mean average precision of 77.8%, surpassing the previous best of 72.1%. The approach also shows that predicted structure is unnecessary, that a small set of global physicochemical scalars can recover most performance, and that modeling label dependence benefits rare activities and informs assay prioritization.

Parameter-efficient Prompt Tuning of Vision Foundation Model With Adaptive Focal Loss for Interpretable MCI Screening

arXiv:2607. 15047v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mild Cognitive Impairment is a critical early stage of cognitive decline that frequently precedes Alzheimer's disease, yet its automated detection from neuropsychological drawing tests remains fundamentally constrained by data scarcity, class imbalance, and diagnostic ambiguity near clinical boundaries.

Autoregressive EHR Foundation Models with Multimodal Inputs

arXiv:2607. 22264v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive foundation models trained on tokenized electronic health records (EHRs) can support zero-shot clinical prediction, yet most operate on structured event codes alone, and do not incorporate multiple modalities in a principled way.
